Man:
Do not weep for me,
But weep for yourself that are endangered
In this compact planet,
You have harried the forests
And frittered the rocks;
You have burrowed the mountains
And scattered the hills for treasures;
You have disturbed the tranquil of the deep sea
And polluted the atmosphere
And excavated the secret chambers of the ocean.
Prodigal child, you have plundered the flora
And prey on the fauna
But when will you be wise?
